Katie Holmes Lands Her First Big Glossy Cover Post TomKat, Plans To Make Her New York Fashion Week Debut

August isn’t typically a big newsstand sales month for fashion glossies but we figure Elle should do pretty well next month. Why? It’s got soon-to-be-ex-Mrs-Tom-Cruise–Katie Holmes on the cover. Here’s a peek at the cover (courtesy of Elle.com), which was shot by Carter Smith, styled by Joe Zee, and will hit newsstands on July 17. Read more →

Katie Holmes Didn’t Let Her Divorce Filing Stop Her From Taping Project Runway All Stars

More than just a celebrity who dresses (herself and her daughter) well, Holmes is making a name for herself in the fashion biz with the label she designs with her stylist: Holmes & Yang, which sells at Barneys.

Everything You’ve Ever Wanted to Know About the Bejeweled Codpiece Tom Cruise Wears in Rock of Ages

Everything You’ve Ever Wanted to Know About the Bejeweled Codpiece Tom Cruise Wears in Rock of Ages

Tom Cruise’s latest turn as ’80s musician Stacee Jaxx in the just released Rock of Ages really required the actor to play outside of his usual good guy/hero schtick. Jaxx is a tattooed, womanizing, drug-addled rock god who–are you ready for the best part?–wears a codpiece.

And not just any old codpiece either. Rock stars can’t just purchase their codpieces in Provincetown like everyone else, now can they? No. They can’t. This codpiece was custom made by ‘script-specific prop’-maker Doug Wright. The actual ‘piece,’ which sounds more like a Damien Hirst piece than codpiece, is a devil’s skull, bedazzled with rhinestones, metal studs, silver leaf, and a ruby-rhinestone encrusted tongue. All mounted on a leather jockstrap. Sexy.

Hollywood’s Most Powerful Stylists: The Complete List

Hollywood’s Most Powerful Stylists: The Complete List

We’ve become huge fans of the Hollywood Reporter over the last few months, mostly due to Janice Min’s excellent makeover of the trade publication. Staffer Merle Ginsberg navigates the LA fashion scene with an entertaining mix of gossip, insider news, and general knowledge that is not only rare for the West Coast, but rare for fashion writing in general.

So we were thrilled to see Ginsberg’s list of the 25 most powerful stylists in Hollywood covering this week’s issue. Rachel Zoe obviously ranks number one, with names like Nicole Chavez, Annabel Tollman, Brad Goreski, Leslie Fremar, and Kate Young rounding it out. See the full list below, and read the Zoe cover story here.
